Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly; WPJWA states residential accounts are read and billed monthly.
- Rate structure
- Authority water rates plus separate sewer charges collected for partner municipalities and ALCOSAN. The public rate page lists metered water and sewer charges rather than a single uniform all-in rate; exact totals vary by community, meter, and sewer authority.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- WPJWA collects water and sewer charges. The public rates page shows ALCOSAN charges of $8.93 per bill plus $12.76 per 1,000 gallons for applicable communities, while Penn Hills has a separate $27.38 per 1,000-gallon residential sewer rate or a $178 quarterly well-water flat rate. The exact sewer component depends on the municipality and whether ALCOSAN or a local sewer schedule applies.
- Meter reading
- Residential accounts are read and billed monthly, and the current meter-reading schedule is included on each customer’s bill. WPJWA board materials state that Neptune 360 supports daily account reading and abnormal-consumption monitoring; customers should rely on the bill’s route schedule for the specific read date.
